Why buy a precious gem if a substitute will suffice?
The “navaratna”, or 9 principle gemstones traditionally used in jyotish and ayurveda, are most powerful for this purpose. There are a limited number of “uparatna”, or substitute gemstones, that we carry that do have good effects, but not to the degree of the “navaratna”. We do not carry as many substitute gems as other companies. We carry only those we know are effective beyond the shadow of a doubt.
